Schools are not even collecting vaccine info on kids so everyone goes home if ANY positive case?

[Anonymous]

It just occurred to me that schools are not collecting any vaccine data on kids.
So for high schoolers (say Wilson) if there is ONE positive case, any kid that is in class with the positive will go home for 2 weeks?
There seems very little possibility that they will keep the vaccinated kids at school because they won't even know who is vaccinated plus DCPS will hate those optics.
It's what they did this summer at Banneker (one case, everyone there went home, no instruction).

So one positive and 200 high schoolers don't learn for 2 weeks?

How up-to-date is your state (or DC) IIS?

Yes one positive case will send 200 kids home. They should give out devices the first day of school otherwise those kids will sit at home and do nothing.

It's so frustrating because it doesn't have to BE like this.

Our charter is definitely collecting data on which kids are vaccinated. Voluntarily. Surprised others aren’t doing this.

Who says they aren't though? Your child should get the COVID vaccine added to their shot records and THEN the medical form (required every year) will include your COVID test and when it was taken. Y'all get all in a huff over stuff you don't even really know. They may still choose to send everyone home, but I wouldn't say its because there is not vaccine info.

Has an announcement been made that all students in the class(es) of a positive student will quarantine at home for two weeks, or is this just speculation? It isn’t reasonable for vaccinated students and I can’t imagine it would happen.

See the threads on the summer school shutdowns. It’s apparently OSSE policy now.

Yep. DCPS has been sending home all kids--vaccinated and unvaccinated--to quarantine. Vaccination does not make a difference to OSSE.

That's ridiculous. You cannot make a district-wide policy. 600 colleges have now required vaccines for everyone, so sad that we cannot do that for elementary to high school.

Perfect reason to opt out of testing and not test. That’s at least my lesson learned from this

Vaccinated students and teachers who test positive for COVID can still pass the virus to those who are unvaccinated.

So yes, EVERYONE should be sent home to quarantine until they test negative.
